Hon. Gerry Brewster: War Hero & U.S. Senator Daniel B. Brewster Had It All, and It Nearly Killed Him. What Happened?

Senator Brewster’s son, former state Delegate Gerry Brewster, will talk about his father’s combat in WWII and his political and personal rise, fall, and redemption on the national stage. Called “the golden boy of Maryland politics” in the 1950s and ‘60s, senator and war hero Daniel B. Brewster had it all—wealth, power, reputation and family—before hitting rock bottom as a disgraced, financially ruined alcoholic. Through courage and determination, he rebuilt his life and reclaimed his dignity. It’s an amazing and inspirational story of character and redemption.
